eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 707 The Emperor’s Benevolence
After Jin Gui came back from the palace, he hurriedly went to report to the emperor.

Even if it was just out of compassion for an old man, Zhu Houzhao had to be anxious. Before Jin Gui knelt down, he asked urgently: "How is it? What does the imperial doctor say?"

"Back to the emperor, the imperial doctor said that Mr. Wangge's illness is serious and urgent. Now the wind evil has taken up residence in half of the body, and also resides in the camp guard. If the camp guard is weak, the true energy will disappear, so that the evil spirit will remain alone and the hair will become dry."

Zhu Houzhao was even more anxious, "Say something I can understand. I'm not proficient in medical skills."

"It is caused by stasis of Qi and blood, accumulation of phlegm, obstruction of the meridians, and loss of nourishment of the brain and marrow, resulting in dizziness and vomiting, hesitation in speech, and stiffness of the limbs."

broken!

Hearing this description is like having a stroke.

It turned out that he was anxious, but now that the matter was over, he gradually calmed down, "Oh my God, it's not what I wish for. Did the imperial doctor say, Mr. Wang Ge...how long does Mr. Wang Ge have?"

Jin Gui shook his head helplessly, "The imperial doctor said that Wangge Lao suffered from hemiplegia in the mildest condition and became aphasic from then on, and... in the most severe condition, he died in three to five days. It was God's will that he was so severe, and manpower could not do it."

Zhu Houzhao returned to the dragon chair and sat silently.

After a long time, Jin Gui persuaded: "Your Majesty, people are born, old, sick and die. This is a natural law. Your Majesty, please take care of the dragon body and don't worry too much, causing the qi to accumulate inside."

"Wang Bing, do you have any heirs?"

"I have two sons. The eldest son died of illness in his prime, and the younger son died in infancy. Today, the eldest granddaughter is still waiting at his bedside."

Why.Another bleak evening scene.

After all, it has been righteous for ten years.

In fact, usually from here on he will send off his old ministers one after another.

Because the people who stood out when he succeeded to the throne were usually old people from the previous dynasty. These people could not be young until today. Like Li Dongyang, they probably died not long ago.

The previous Min Gui left a few years ago.

By the tenth year of Zhengde, Yang Yiqing was already 62, Wang Hao was 66, and Yang Tinghe was 57.

This is an advanced age. Let alone others, it is still a question whether he can live to fifty.

"Pass the message." Zhu Houzhao swept away the gloom in his heart and quickly cheered up, "Conferred Wang Bing as a bachelor of Wuying Palace, granted him the title of Prince Shaobao, and also granted him 1000 taels of gold and 1 taels of silver."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

"It's a pity that he only has one granddaughter. How old is that child?"

Jin Gui has also seen her, but it is really inappropriate for an old man to ask her how old she is.

You Zhi was still clever, so he immediately added: "Your Majesty, Mr. Wang Ge's granddaughter is 14 years old this year."

"Oh, you're still very young. Have you agreed?"

"Uh..." Jin Gui continued to be embarrassed.

Or You Zhi said, "Not yet."

Zhu Houzhao ordered again, "This matter... You Zhi, please remember it. If any family has a suitable young man who wants to remind me, I will come to act as a matchmaker for Mr. Wangge."

Jin Gui and You Zhi were both moved after hearing this. The emperor had served him well.

In fact, he originally gave both gold and silver because he considered the dowry aspect.

Wang Bing was considered an incorruptible official, and many people thought he was relying on flattering the emperor. This was certainly a factor, but there were so many flatterers, so how could he be the only one to flatter him?
When people reach this point, Zhu Houzhao wants all kinds of adult beauty. Although he advocates honesty, he cannot let his cabinet ministers make their families live in a disgraceful way after their death.

When the news reached the cabinet, everyone couldn't help but sigh.

In addition, the emperor has shown his attitude,

Yang Yiqing was still holding back before, but now he has to show his big picture, and he can't let go of some of the grievances in the past.

So he took the lead, and officials from all walks of life came to visit him.

There also began to be an endless stream of people in front of the palace.
……

"Your Majesty is really a kind person. It stands to reason that although Wang Bing is the elder of the pavilion, he has mostly benefited from the battle in Liangxiang, but he has not made any achievements in these years. That's it. He also added the crown prince Shaobao and was awarded the bachelor of Wuying Palace. .”

"Just say a few words and arrange a seriously ill old man behind your back. How capable do you appear to be?"

"Xia Guan means that the emperor is kind."

"How can you tell me that the emperor is kind? If you make some achievements, the emperor will also give you gold and silver."

……

In the palace, all the main heads of the family have become women.They are his daughter-in-law and a granddaughter.

This is a poor family, and it would be a great tragedy to cut off the incense. The reason why Zhu Houzhao gave him a slightly generous gift was to cater to this kind of people's compassion.

The imperial edict came from the palace,

Wang Bing's daughter-in-law took the lead in receiving the order. She was given an honorary title and gold and silver were also sent in.

You Zhi, who delivered the message, did not leave immediately, but went to the hospital bed to take another look, "Mr. Wang Ge, Your Majesty ordered us to take the message. Your Majesty hopes that you will get well soon. There are still many things in the Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty is thinking of Mr. Ge." Let's do it together. Sigh... But don't worry, Mr. Ge, your Majesty is not a ungrateful master, and has decreed to find a good family for your precious granddaughter and give her gold and silver as a dowry, so Mr. Ge can rest in peace and recuperate."

Perhaps it was an illusion, You Zhi suddenly saw Wang Bing's eyes widen a little, and then he blinked!
He was startled, "Mr. Sun! Come and take a look! Mr. Ge is moving!"

The imperial doctor rushed in immediately after hearing this. He frowned and took his pulse. He struggled for half a breath but still shook his head.

"Don't be flirtatious! The look in Mr. Ge's eyes means he wants to talk!"

Indeed, it is no longer as dull as before.

"Grandpa is crying!"

A delicate voice sounded.

Then everyone saw that there was indeed a tear flowing from the corner of Wang Bing's eye.

He still couldn't speak or even make any movements, but tears came out first, and once they came out of his eyes, a tear trail immediately appeared.

You Zhi didn't know the specific situation, so he first insisted, "Mr. Ge must have been touched by the emperor's kindness! Just now our family told Mr. Ge that the emperor promoted his son to an official position and also arranged for his granddaughter to be married. Mr. Ge Moved!"

"The emperor is unparalleled in benevolence and virtue, how can the elder not be moved?"

Unfortunately, people are indeed too powerless in the face of illness.

Before you left, You Zhi went to see Wang Bing's daughter-in-law and said a few words. He was a eunuch and there was no need to avoid the distinction between men and women. "Just now we said that the emperor wants to find a good family for your daughter. This is absolutely true." , please also ask Mrs. Wang to tell our family her birth date so that we can go back and recover. Mrs. Wang can just wait for the emperor to give it to her in the future."

After all, she is the daughter-in-law of Ge's hometown, and she has seen some worldly things, so she immediately said: "I would like to thank you for your kindness!"

"If you can, don't forget to ask someone to give you a note of thanks when you come back."

"Yes, thank you Eunuch You for reminding me."

"Good talk, good talk."

……

……

Two days later.

When the cabinet meets you again, only three people are left.

Wang Bing is still unable to speak, and his position is still retained, but not for long.Zhu Houzhao didn't take away his stool. It was just empty there, waiting for him to return.

But according to the imperial doctor, it's basically impossible, just don't do anything too chilling.

"Mr. Wang Ge is suddenly seriously ill. This is also a helpless matter. Sir, please work harder during this period and take over his responsibilities for the time being."

Wang Hao did his duty and said, "How dare I say the word "hard work".

"Well, in special times, the cabinet must work together. If there are any matters that were originally coordinated by Wangge Lao, you should all care about them. Don't mention the addition of cabinet members this year, wait until next year."

"Yes." The three of them said in unison.

"Is there anything else important?"

After a few moments of silence, Yang Yiqing spoke up. He took out a memorial from his sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, the cabinet received a memorial this morning. I would like to ask the emperor to read it."

"Bring it."

Zhu Houzhao took it in his hand and before he opened it, he frowned when he saw Zhang Cong on the cover. When he really opened it and took a closer look, his face gradually became serious.

"What do you think?"

Yang Yiqing stood up and bent down, holding his hands in his hands, "I believe that the gentry is the foundation of the country. If it changes, the world will be in chaos!"

Wang Bing, who understood the emperor's will, was already lying on the bed.

If he is here, there will be an important supporting force in the cabinet.

This is the role. It seems that he has never done anything too specific, but he always firmly supports the emperor!
